EVERY GOOD ENDEAVOR REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Keller (2012) states, “We must love our neighbor, but Christianity gives us very specific teachings about human nature and what makes human beings flourish. We must make sure that our work is done in line with these understandings. Faithful work, then, is to operate out of a Christian Worldview” (p. 21).
The different Christian traditions “give somewhat different answers of how we should go about the task of recapturing vocation. The streams are often confusing to Christians, for they are not perfectly complementary to one another” (Keller, 2012, p. 21).
In these assignments, you will reflect on some of these sentiments that Keller introduces in Every Good Endeavor and explore the ethical and legal foundations of his statements as they relate to business.
INSTRUCTIONS
Your assignment should include two paragraphs: one consisting of a reflection, and one on the legal and ethical implications for business.
In your reflection, you will be asked to read a peer-reviewed article relate to the topic. Then you will reflect on the prompt from Keller’s book in light of this article. In your second paragraph, you will discuss the ethical and legal implications of Keller’s statement from a business perspective. You should reference one peer-reviewed source and your Keller text. You should also follow APA formatting for in-text citations.
You will complete three different reflection assignments based on the following schedule and prompts:
Module 7: Week 7
For the Every Good Endeavor Reflection: Cultural Engagement Assignment, you will reflect on the following prompt:
“The way to serve God is to work from a Christian motivation to glorify God, seeking to engage and influence culture to that end.”
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

I attached the questions and chart need to complete math problems that need to be solve. Can you get me an A? I want an A on this study guide. Thanks.

For this case, you received a data file, Analytics_
mindset_case_studies_ETL_Case4.xlsx (go to the student
download page at http://www.pearsonhighered.com/romney to
download this file). It includes 789 lines of journal entries for 11
days from a hotel and conference center (on the tab labeled
JELineItems) as well as other important accounting-relevant
datasets on these other tabs: BusinessUnits,
ChartOfAccounts, PreparerInfo, and Source. The following is a
select list of data fields from this file noting the field name and
field descriiption tabs on which the data field is located.
You have been asked to prepare a single, flat file (i.e., spreadsheet) with all
of the data fields from each tab within the data file combined in a single
sheet labeled Case 6-1 solution. This sheet is already provided in the
workbook. The journal entry line item data and the required column headers
(attributes) have already been copied into this new spreadsheet. You are
required to populate the remaining fields with accurate data.
2. Management wants to create a repeatable ETL data process for this
scenario. This requires a template that uses a consistently formatted
dataset. Therefore, you should retain formulas in your final sheet for
columns K through Q, and you should not add, delete, or move any data in
any of the other sheets.
3. Your final sheet should look like the following screenshot. (The first three
rows are provided, showing the correct answer. Make sure your rows have
the formula entered in them).

Hi, could you please help reconcile, edit, and calculate the Excel sheet named “Book One” using the source of truth from the “Multi-Year Report” Excel book? In “Book One,” the formulas are located at the top and pull data from below. Click the remaining amount or other areas at the top to see the formulas.
I need the remaining amount that’s crossed out to show $8,073, but I can’t find which commitment is missing. The total budget minus commitments equals the remaining amount. Once that’s complete, the right top side needs the YTD and prior years reconciled so the total across the years is correct. However, this doesn’t calculate into the remaining amount formula. The main focus is ensuring all commitments are included and the remaining amount is correct. I can’t seem to find the issue. Thanks.

In the readings section, I included two files with data from Facebook. Both the Microsoft Excel and Access files refer to data from Facebook on the Wall Street Journal stories pertaining to Apple, Amazon, and Wal-Mart (on separate tabs in the spreadsheet). The Excel and Access files already have some examples of the metrics such as “total likes_count” etc. Explain how you would use Excel or Access technologies to answer the following questions:
How did the total likes_count (sum of all likes) change from 2012 to 2013, 2013 to 2014, 2014 to 2015, and 2015 to 2016 for Apple? How did it change for Wal-Mart? Discuss your answer with justification and how you used the technology to answer this question.
How did the total angry_count change by year (for both Apple and Wal-Mart) from 2012 to 2016? Also, discuss your answer with justification and how you used the technology to answer this question.
For all stories included in this spreadsheet, regardless of the company, how did the total likes_count change by year? (To address this questions, use the total likes_count for the three companies)
What percentage of total likes did Apple obtain by year? (To address this questions, use the total likes_count for the three companies). Use the following method:
Likes that Apple Received/(Likes for Apple + Likes for Walmart + Likes for Amazon)
Express this ratio as a percentage.
5. If your organization has a social media presence for the products/services it offers, would you follow the “Apple” model or the “Wal-Mart” model for building social media presence? Justify your answer based on like_count, angry_count analysis in earlier questions.
Submit either the Excel spreadsheet or the Microsoft Access database showing your work to arrive at the answers to these questions.
Instructions:
You are expected to complete this assignment in Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. In addition to these files showing your work to support your conclusions, you need to submit a brief Word document describing how the counts changed.

Selling prices had been set by multiplying total product cost by 200%. Sensing that this system was distorting costs and selling prices, Najad has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system for manufacturing overhead costs using three activity cost pools. Selling prices are still to be set at 200% of unit product cost under the new system. Information on these cost pools for next year are as follows:
